Precious works of Damascus steel

Two very valuable knifes with elaborate engraved ivory handles.
The ivory naturally comes from certified sources!

Left: Engraving of a knife for a wedding.

Right: A Sax. The sax was borne in the Merovingian and Carolingian times (5. - 9. century). It was the predominant cut-and thrust weapon of the Nobel Men. The size with a length of about 40 - 60 cm and a width of 3 - 4 cm made it the standard weapon in Central Europe for centuries. It was only through the Viking area when it became best known.
